GFA PRO targets large-format thick-plate processing costs

The GFA PRO is built for large-format metal processing. HSG says it addresses large footprints, low speed, unstable thick-plate performance and high operating costs. The G3015T and R2 PRO extend HSG's high-speed range for sheet and tube processing, with the aim of improving throughput and flexibility.

BILLERICA – October 22, 2026 -- E Ink and FUJIFILM Imaging Systems Co., Ltd. plan to start mass production of a 55-inch color ePaper signage display in March 2027, aiming to replace printed posters in Japan's railway industry.

Two Marquee formats are scheduled through January 2028

The 55-inch E Ink Marquee will reach prototype stage in December 2026. The larger B1-size E Ink Marquee follows with prototypes in October 2027 and mass production in January 2028. The companies will introduce select sizes in 2027 only after prototype assessments are completed successfully.

Labor shortages and print costs drive railway demand for ePaper

Railway operators are turning to ePaper because of labor shortages and rising costs to print, transport, install and dispose of traditional paper posters, according to the companies.

BAXTER, Minn. – – October 22, 2026 -- Metrology Parts has released "All About Video Measuring Machines," a guide covering six topics: how the systems operate, illumination and edge detection, differences from coordinate measuring machines (CMMs), benefits of optical systems, industry applications, and the shift to multi-sensor technology.

Video measuring machines measure the image of a part, not the part itself

The guide describes a video measuring machine as a robotic system engineered to eliminate physical variables that could cause measurement error. It uses three programmable illumination types: profile, surface and coaxial lighting.

Unlike contact-based CMMs, which use a mechanical probe, video measuring machines are entirely non-contact and rely only on light.
